Breast cancer has seen a rise in the diagnosis of young women - awareness is key! ๐
Growing numbers of women are being diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 40. While experts are not able to say for sure what is driving this, the impact is still notably huge on both the healthcare system and the real lives of real people.
Finding breast cancer early gives you the best chance of effective treatment. Being breast aware at any age means knowing whatโs normal for your body, so changes can be noticed sooner.
Consider this your friendly reminder to #Know Yourself. Feel Yourself. , and that awareness and early detection are key. Don't be afraid to share the love and gently 'nudge' your close friends & family to be more breast aware โค๏ธ
